I thought this kind of senseless violence would stay in the Middle East when left Iraqi in 2004. No more explosions, no mass violence. Maybe some peace finally. I was 26 as a Sergeant in the United States Army then and didn't realize how very far it extended beyond 9/11. I was wrong, and I knew it then as well. Regardless of the risk we face all US law enforcement are determined to protect our nation, as I'm sure are the faithfull citizens of the United States of America. Officer Sean Collier lost his life protecting people. His death is such a loss but his purpose was beyond valiant, and is moreover courageous.

I am so very sorry for family and friends of Officer Collier, and prey that somehow God can disuage their irreplaceable loss.

I can say even now with no direct connection to him aside from law enforcement, that his striking passage affected me personally just as I am assured it has many others. All of our prayers and condolences are with him, his family, his colleagues, and the victims of the Boston bombings.

My deepest sympathies to the family, friends, colleagues and community of Officer Collier. Your service in this realm has been completed with honor, dignity, and perseverance. Rest well as you have fulfilled your assignment, but you sleep but for a short time before the resurrection as promised by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ occurs, which will reunite all in splendor and eternal peace.

I feel sad for this officer, Sean Collier, and his family. He was doing the right thing and paid the ultimate price. Justice is in God's hands and the day will come when Officer Collier will stand before the Living God and be justified. My heart goes out to the family and friends who are left behind with the memories of a good and honorable man. May his family be blessed with the hope of God's peace.

Rest in Peace, Brother, your murderers have been captured/killed. It takes a special person to be a university law enforcement officer, and by all accounts, you were very special. My prayers are with your family, friends, and agency. Thank you for being a HERO, one who goes towards danger, a sheepdog.
